Crossover & Straight Through

2 types of wires depending on color codes.

Crossover wires have one end configured with 568 A and other end with 568 B.

Straight through wires have both ends configured with either 568 A or both ends with 568 B.

Crossover cables are used to connect same type of devices.
ie; to connect between a DTE and a DTE device.
or to connect between DCE and DCE device.

Straight through cables are used to connect different types of devices.
ie; to connect between a DTE and a DCE device.




* DTE and DCE is explained in one of the older post of the blog.
